Max Headroom’s stutter would be extremely annoying.

For some reason, I now really want Alexa to appear to me in the shape of Admiral Ackbar.

You can do whatever you want, but this is one of those “can’t tell if sarcastic or stupid” situations for anyone who doesn’t know you. I didn’t comment on your original post because I assumed “sarcastic”, and besides there’s usually not much point responding to stupid.

Sure, you’re doing 65 or more, after midnight, on a busy freeway. You pass by an abandoned car in the middle of the freeway. So you slam on your brakes, reverse all the way back, park behind the car, and turn on your blinkers. We’ll raise a glass to your public spiritness at your memorial service.

Maybe that was the warning shot, but grandma wasn’t wearing her glasses?

And clearly not one that warrants surveillance and being torn from a sick child.

Blame the USDA.

Blame the USDA.

I remember Hannibal, the Criminal Minds double episode To Hell... And Back, and Robert Pickton.

Agree that it is a cost cutting measure for Tesla. And I also think that if the scale is larger (which is necessary if EVs are to be mainstream) they won’t be doing this.

Not this exact scenario. If / when EVs are mainstream, cost cutting will ensure that if you’re sold a 60 kWH car, there won’t be a 75 kWH battery inside.

I don’t know why there are so many anatomical remarks in the comments. You obviously just wore your underwear the other way around.

Aw, c’mon. Even young adult dystopian books have fewer plot holes than their book.

The difference is that this is not part of a government contract or even a civil engineering project, but instead by an individual who just wanted to see how it works, and how he can improve it.

Speaking of the term “darkey”, I still remember seeing Darkie toothpaste when I was a kid...

I read his comment as he’ll buy a hybrid only if it is fully autonomous because while he likes the fuel economy, he’s not interested in how it drives.

Maybe they needed to clean the windows?

I drive an EV commuting to work, actually, and I put about 40 miles on it a day. But we go on road trips and long drives on weekends, and we take the wife’s car for those occasions.

Agree. Battery longevity is better than a cellphone, but still leaves much to be desired.

Stop touching the charging cable.
